It's turning out to be a busy week for the Object Management Group, a non- profit consortium that produces and maintains computer industry specifications for interoperable enterprise applications. On the group's agenda this week at its Boston meeting is adopting software standards for manufacturing, biotechnology, space/satellite computing and other industries. In manufacturing, a new standard defines Computer-Aided Design (CAD) Services and integrates this key piece of manufacturing software with the OMG's established Product Data Management (PDM) facility. In biotechnology, a new specification defines laboratory equipment control interfaces in OMG Interface Definition Language (OMG IDL), making compatible equipment accessible from CORBA-compliant software. Extending CORBA standards beyond earth's atmosphere, issuance of a new Request for Proposals (RFP) will start work on a standard for the exchange of satellite command and telemetry data.
On other standards initiatives, members are also applying OMG's open, vendor- neutral, consensus-building process to extend OMG standards in software modeling for the Unified Modeling Language (UML); the Common Warehouse Metamodel (CWM); the CORBA middleware platform; and industry-specific domain facilities. By July 13, OMG members will issue requests for proposal to standardize interworking between CORBA and the Java Messaging Service (JMS). For more information, please visit www.omg.org .
